Succession Planning: Identify and Leverage Meaningful Employee Experiences

Succession Planning: Identify and Leverage Meaningful Employee Experiences  

A key part of effective succession planning is the ability of individuals to learn from their experiences. However, even the best leaders can miss the lesson from experiences that were intended to accelerate their development.

In this presentation, you will learn how to use The Experience Model, which was developed through 15 years of research.  This simple but powerful tool can equip high-potential talent to learn more from their experiences. 

By developing your ability to facilitate learning from experience, you can play a key role in improving the effectiveness of your succession management efforts.  You will also have a chance to use The Experience Model to think differently about your own developmental work experiences.

Learning Objectives

• Explore why succession planning often doesn’t yield the desired results
  
• Re-think the process to develop the leadership talent you need
• Identify the drivers of development in any work experience
• Discuss how to engage your top talent as owners of their own development
